Like A Hand In A Glove

Contributed by Craig Cramblet on Sep 1, 2004

I read a devotional by Corrie ten Boom and it stirred my imagination. This is really a children’s message/object lesson but certainly could be expanded to challenge any group of believers to fully surrender to God’s work in their lives.

(For the object lesson, I found thin, inexpensive food service gloves in the church kitchen. If you want to expand the illustraion...the fragile, temporary nature of these gloves makes a point that a cotton or leather glove would not!) What is this? A glove. Actually, it is a specific kind of ...read more

Good News / Bad News

Palm Sunday Sermon

Good News / Bad News Hey, did you ever hear the one about when the guy says, "I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news..."? Of course you have. There’s more than one. It’s a classic vaudeville set-up line. Did you ever notice how when you look at the original events of Holy Week, the week we are ...read more

Servant Of God

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Sep 9, 2004

I want you to know that the assurance you have is that Christ is your example. And as Christ as our example, you do have a calling from our Heavenly Father to be responsible for your brothers and sisters in love and in deed.

Opening: This evening I want us to do a little reflecting on what is taking place in our lives. Some of you may have found yourself adjusting to being in a church that is without a Pastor. This may be nothing new for some of you. Maybe some of you have been through this before. I have found ...read more

The Passion Of Christ Series

Contributed by David Seeley on Sep 21, 2004

Third is a five week series. I trust this series will help us gain a new appreciation for who Jesus Christ is and what He did for us.

The Passion of Christ Philippians 2:8 “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Christ’s passion was to complete the work of obedience to the Father and love toward us.

The Apprentice's Toolbox Series

Contributed by Christopher Hill on Dec 30, 2003

We must look to Jesus as our example of how to use the tools he has already given us in relationships. Love, purpose, and humility are the tools.

Last week we looked at how we must all get along with each other and work with each other in order to build a strong church. This week I will continue my series on building the church with a look at exactly how we must work together. While Jesus was the foundation and cornerstone in the ...read more

The name od Jesus Christ must be honored and hallowed by every Christian. This is a reminder of how precious and powerful His name is and how much we should glorify Him.

Honored and Hallowed Shall His Name Be Philippians 2:5-11 The other day I was watching a sports program and they were talking about two individuals who were sure to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. **They also mentioned those who deserved to be there but probably wouldn’t make ...read more

Name Above All Names: "Messiah" Series

Contributed by Jim Black on Jan 5, 2004

As the long-awaited Messiah, Jesus came upon the scene as a powerful king, but didn’t fit the people’s preconceived notions of what that Messiah would be. He is OUR king!

It was a question that struck at the very heart of WHO he was and WHAT he came to do . . . “Are you the Christ?” Mark’s gospel tells us that after Jesus had been apprehended in the Garden the large mob armed with swords and clubs took Jesus to the high priest. There all the chief priests, ...read more

Name Above All Names: "Immanuel" Series

Contributed by Jim Black on Jan 5, 2004

Jesus/ Immanuel is God’s promise to never leave us nor forsake us; to be with us always!

There are many names given to Jesus in the Bible– each one gives us a fuller and clearer picture of who He is and What He means for us... And so, as we are unpacking the various names of Jesus we are asking ourselves “Who IS this man that we have put our hope in?” The very name Jesus means ...read more

Contributed by Jim Black on Jan 5, 2004

Jesus is at once fully God & fully man, making him both able to understand our condition and able to save us from it.

It’s a question we’ll all have to answer! Maybe you’ve already answered it and it was years ago; maybe you have yet to answer it; but rest assured we will ALL answer it at some point! Whether you grew up in church in a Christian family, or maybe you came to be exposed to Jesus much later in ...read more

Name Above All Names: "The Word" Series

Contributed by Jim Black on Jan 8, 2004

Jesus is God’s ultimate WORD to all humanity! But what does that mean?

Do you remember a time when your word was enough?Enough to enter into a contract? Enough to buy a car or borrow some money? Enough to enter into a marriage?

Joys False Or Complete Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2004

For Epiphany: As Richard Foster wrote about "Money, Sex, and Power", is it possible the Wise Men’s gifts are warnings to Jesus and His family about these things? Complete joy comes from what Jesus did with these issues.

Who we are and what we have are two entirely different things, but we confuse them. We insist on identifying who we are by what we have. Who we are and what we have are not the same thing. We are more by far than the material goods we possess. And yet everywhere we are identified by our stuff. ...read more
